apt-get -o APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true update
apt-get -o APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true upgrade

You can see this option documented in "man apt-get" where you can also
see "--allow-unauthenticated" documented.

Looked at the man page. Not sure, but might the following work?
--allow-unauthenticated
